Thanks. I already tried that twice now and no luck. I see my path on my old shared server was home1/ and my new one is just home/ so I wonder if that is the problem and I could just change it to home1/?sozzled wrote:It's possible, but not a certainty, that the IP address of the VPS has not propagated through the internet or that your PC has not rechecked the DNS information since you created the VPS. If you're using a Windows machine you could try entering the commandand then try again to reach the website. If nothing else, it's worth a try and you have nothing to lose. Good luck.Code: Select all

Thanks.I will use the FPA in the future after I get going again. I prefer to learn how to do the admin duties without paying for outside help because then I will never learn anything.toivo wrote:There is more than one way to move a Joomla site to a different server. Akeeba Backup, mentioned quite at the end of the following tutorial, is the simplest and most popular way: https://docs.joomla.org/Copying_a_Joomla_website

Yes, please do. Remember that this forum is run by volunteers and that every website is different. We don't know everything about everything—in fact, we probably know next-to-nothing about how each of the millions of Joomla websites created everywhere were set up—and, while we'll do our best, it's better if we have some technical information to assist us to give you (and other users of the forum) the best possible advice.'schemer wrote:I will use the FPA in the future after I get going again.

The determining factor in what makes a webhost a suitable, dependable partner in your business comes down to a personal choice. I have used a couple of different webhosting providers over the years; when I was dissatisfied with one I moved on to another. I'm fairly happy with the arrangements that I have in place today (but there's no certainty that I will be using them over the years to come).
If you're not getting good service or knowledgeable advice from your current webhosting provider then (a) cut your losses and move your business elsewhere, or (b) contact an experienced professional to act on your behalf. It's a bit like preparing your annual income tax return: I haven't the time or the interest (or the detailed knowledge of changing tax laws) to prepare my own tax returns; I have an accountant who manages those things for me.
